Making index.jsp the default

843836Nov 26 2003 — edited Nov 27 2003

I have a development environment on my PC that mimics my web hosts setup - Tomcat 3.2.3, JDK1.3.1_08. However when I access the root of my setup via:

http://localhost/utopia/

the page that automatically appears is the index.jsp which is all well and good. However if I upload my page to my website I get a directory listing. I think that they have a value in the global web.xml which I should be able to overwrite with my own web.xml. However my knowledge of the web.xml tags is (very) limited and I have only tried the <welcome-file-list> tags.

Is there anyway of setting this up? I really need the .jsp to fire first.
